Kris Perez, ICMG - Owner

Owner/Groomer/Instructor are just a few of the titles on Kris Perez' badge. Kris began to bathe and groom dogs at the age of 13 as a summer job at a family members grooming salon. She went on to learn great grooming skills from many different groomers for the next 20 years. Working in Pet Stores, Petting Zoos, Veterinarian Hospitals and grooming shops, Kris gained a plethora of skill and expertise in the pet industry.​When Kris opened her own Grooming Salon in 2006, she aspired to reach higher levels of skill and achievment. She joined IPG (International Professional Groomers) and began to study every breed recognized by AKC (American Kennel Club of America).She was tested by both hands on practical skills (grooming) and written tests and passed each one with high scores and finished by achieving a master score on the master exam earning herself the title of ICMG (International Certified Master Groomer) . Kris' expertise is equally matched by her happy and sweet disposition.
